We have got to be brave and bold and bring people with us, not try and look all ways. Trying to please everyone usually means we have pleased no one.

I've never bent the knee to anyone in my life.

To be honest, I've always been forthright.

Fear and hatred can be the things that drive you. I don't always think of fear as a bad thing, it gives you fight-or-flight.

Growing up with my father was like growing up with Jeremy Corbyn. He still hasn't rejoined the party; it's not left wing enough for him.

I made a decision to stop feeling envious of other people, to crack on with my life and stop comparing myself with others.

I am manic and that leads me to behave badly at times.

I loathe and detest people who pretend they don't care what people think about them as if that is a virtue, when it is simply rude.

If you cut me I bleed Birmingham. Others would say it's being a woman, but coming from Birmingham is the single most important part of my identity. I'm not always sure I feel English or British, but I always feel like a Brummie.

My family is just like most other families - we rise and fall on good and bad government policy. Politics affects us all.

For a party of the left to win, people have to have believe that government, the state, can be on their side. When I was a young mother, Sure Start and tax credits weren't just a financial lifeline, they represented hope.

Lopez Obrador invokes the appeal of national unity, the revolution of 1910, and the progressive constitution of 1917.

The Zocalo is a magnificent space, at least four times the size of Trafalagar Square, with the National Palace on one side, the huge cathedral on the other, and in one corner part of the old Aztec City so brutally destroyed by Hernan Cortez and the Conquistadores.

Local authorities face huge housing issues with demands outstripping supply many times over; the only way those in housing need can be housed is in the private sector.

A national investment bank can invest to provide us with the foundations of shared and ecologically sustainable growth: renewing the U.K.'s energy, digital and transport infrastructure which lags woefully behind other major economies.

If the leadership can't win a debate, then we should show true leadership and implement the democratic will of our party.

Trade unions are a force for good - a force for a more equal society.

Russia has gone way beyond its legal powers to use bases in the Crimea.

Like a majority of the population and a majority of even Tory voters, I want the railways back in public ownership.

I believe in public ownership, but I have never favoured the remote nationalised model of the postwar era.

I am a proud trade unionist.

Parliament is supposed to be serious. It's not a place for jingoistic cheering.

Life is life. Some of the wisest people you meet are sweeping our streets.

I'm quite concerned that if I spend time in the office, someone will always find something for you to do. There's always a crisis that needs your urgent attention.
